UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION March ol, 1944, Dr. Forrest C. Allen, Department of Physical Education, University of Kansas. Dear Dr. Allen: In our recent conversation it was suggested that I write you relative to an increase in rank and you would be glad to take this up through the proper channels. I came to the Physical Education Department a year ago last October. During that time I have been teaching physical fitness classes, having charge of the V-5 physical education program, teaching such academic courses as Personal Hygiene, Physical Examination and Prescription of Exercise, and Prin- ciples of Community Recreation. I also have charge of practice teaching for our majors in physical education. I am also attempting to keep our pool in an excellent condition from a bacterial standpoint. As for my academic training I am a graduate of Ottawa University, the State University of Iowa with an Me A. in Physical Education, where I have also continued work towards the doctorate in physical education. Thanking you for the opportunity of making this request, Sincerely, P.S. As you doubtless know, I am at present the President of the Kansas Health and Physical Education Association, and in the past two years have served as Vice-President and President-elect, respectively.
